 Pathetic July 17, 2008
1. Got most basic resolution. I played photos from my Nikon D40 SLR camera, but even those pictures looked broken even from 5 feet distance.
2. No wireless feature, no backup battery. Your nightmare starts when you reconnect it to power supply. It wont boot automatically, there is one lousy power button in the back. Even after you power it on the default Foto playback is the firmware and not your memory card or USB. So you need to point it to your memory device by clicking 5-6 buttons.
3. Although it says 7 inch display, you cannot play photos with 5"x7" aspect ratio. The aspect ratio of the frame is 4"x6".
4. No remote, no MP3 playback, no sound.
You can get all these features on a Coby or Nextar frame by spending 15-20 dollars more.
I returned it the next day !!
Ugh, the dingo won't eat this baby July 8, 2008
The frame's nice enough, but don't plan to use the internal memory unless you want to see someone else's baby with a philips add!
Really, really bad June 29, 2008

Phillips had really good photo frames before with high resolution screens. I bought this one because I presumed it would be the same, high quality. Totally wrong.
The resolution is so low that most of the images look pixelated and unbearable to look at.
As others have said, the "Baby" on the internal memory cannot be deleted and so makes the internal memory useless (unless you want to constantly see the Philips ad and a baby .......).
The "USB" connectivity only works with memory cards.. not the internal memory, so to use this (with the baby of course) you have to copy each and every picture one by one from the memory card.... Waste of time!
Setting the "dim" timer needs a lot of patience to set up as "dim-start" means the opposite of what you would think (ie it actually switched on the display rather than starting the dimming process....
Last but not least, the screen is not positioned properly leaving a gap of about 3 pixels at the Top/Left hand side (depending on if you have it vertical or horizontally placed) between the screen and the frame.
Summary: avoid this frame unless you want sore eyes and questions from friends about a baby that's not yours.......
Update - I really did want to view my digital pics and so took the plunge to get the "upmarket" version of this unit - the 8" one (8FF3FP) with 800 x 600 pixels. In this world you get what you pay for.... well so I thought. And paying twice the price should get twice the quality, right?
This new unit worked great ... for a few hours after which the "auto-fit" function stopped working and it put nasty rainbow coloured borders around the pictures instead of fitting pictures to suit the position of the frame (landscape/portrait). Even worse, ALL the portrait orientation pictures were distorted and looked extremely pixelated.
What a waste of my weekend.... It always seems the same these days. When a new technical thing comes out there are always bugs... then down the road they fix them with a "firmware upgrade".
So again - my advice is to totally avoid this range of photo frames!
 Professional quality --great value!!! June 20, 2008

I am a professional photographer that relies on clarity as well as functionality use this product in presentations as well as helping me sell my photographs.
This product offers me the clarity and ease of operation I need. The clarity is as good as frames more than twice the price. The ease of operation makes it even more appealing. If you are looking for high quality at a great price I couldn't recommend this product more.
I looked at frames at twice the price and decides on this one. It's a truly professional product and a great value.

I am very pleased with this digital frame. I think that Philips made it very easy to navigate with the different menus and settings. I did get stuck a couple of times. However, once I looked-up my little "snags" in the manual (from the enclosed CD) I was able to remedy my problems. For example I couldn't figure out how to set-up the automatic timer. After looking it up, I learned that instead of saying "turn on/off" it said "start/end dim." I think it's a strange way to phrase the feature but non-the-less it did the job.
I was frustrated when I tried to download pictures from my computer to the frame's internal memory. After fiddling around for a bit, I discovered that you can't download pictures from the computer directly to the frame. Instead, the frame acts more like a memory card reader and the pictures from the computer will be downloaded to the memory card inserted in the frame. After I put the pictures onto my memory card, I was able to go in and transfer the photos from my memory card to the internal memory. I would have liked to be able to download directly without the memory card but the extra step doesn't take that much extra time. Though I rarely use the internal memory. I'd rather display pictures from my memory cards and thumb drive because they store more pictures and usually those pictures are more recent than the pictures on the internal memory. And that way I don't have to display the lame baby picture (the one everyone else has mentioned).
Overall, I give the frame an A. I like the feature (I think it's called radiant color) that bleeds the colors of a picture to the edge of the frame on pictures that don't fit the wide screen size. Most frames have black bars on the edges for pictures that are too small. I am also very pleased with the color and quality of the pictures when they are being displayed. And I love the piano black polished finish - I think it is very sleek and classy.
